Update (10/17):
If you’re planning to buy a Note 8 from either Verizon or ATT, we’ve got some good news. Best Buy is running a promotion that will take $150 off the price of the Galaxy Note 8 if you buy the phone on a monthly installment plan.

Update (10/17):

The Verizon Galaxy Note 8 can be yours for just $32.75 per month for 24 months (down from $39/mo), and the ATT Note 8 is now available for $33.33 per month for 24 months (down from $39.59/mo).

A few things to note — the deal isn’t offered if you buy the device outright. Also, Best Buy doesn’t mention when this deal ends, so you might want to take advantage of the deal sooner rather than later.

Oh, and as a reminder, T-Mobile’s BOGO Galaxy Note 8 deal ends today, October 17. If you’d like to take advantage of the deal, here’s what you need to know:

When you buy a Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S8, or Galaxy S8 Plus on an EIP and activate at least one new voice line on T-Mobile ONE or select Simple Choice Unlimited plans, you’ll get your choice of a Note 8, S8, or S8 Plus

The return of the beloved Note brand to store shelves shapes up to be a triumph for fans and a return to form for Samsung. We’ve got all the information you need to know if you plan on picking one up.

At age 24, Domyo Burk was neurotic and miserable. She had just graduated from Reed College with a degree in biology, and she had lived a fairly fortunate life. But she was neurotic and miserable, without any apparent reason.

Then, in 1997, a few years after she graduated, Burk traveled to India. Before she left, she was reading a guidebook that mentioned Buddhism, which originated in India. The guidebook said Buddhism’s first teaching is that life is marked by suffering. This caught Burk’s eye.

“I found that incredibly intriguing,” she said.

Burk’s curiosity grew, and she became especially interested in learning about Zen, a branch of Buddhism with emphasis on meditation. And it eventually changed her life. Burk, of Portand, is now a Zen priest in Cedar Mill, and recently wrote a book on Zen meditation.

“Meditation changes the way your mind works,” she said. “It changes the way you relate to your own thoughts and views. At some point I was able to realize how I was causing myself my own suffering. … Once you see how you’re causing your own suffering, you’re pretty inspired to do something about it.”

In 2000, she received her master’s degree in wildlife science from Oregon State University, but decided to pursue Zen meditation instead. (“It was not a popular decision with my parents, who had helped me pay for Reed,” she said.)
